Hi everyone, new to the forum, but I've had my XG500 for about a year now.
Just curious when making a 90 degree turn, like at an intersection, what speed/gear are most of you using. I'll typically turn in either 2nd or 3rd gear, usually going around 10-15MPH entering the turn and accelerate out. My XG500 makes a sputtering noise like it's going to stall sometimes. Since is the only motorcycle I've owned I don't have any point of comparison.
Is the engine sputtering normal? Does this happen with other bikes? Or is this maybe a Harley thing? Or should I be making 90 degree turns in only 2nd gear.
Any feedback is appreciated.
